Perhaps those two years are the mark of the introduction of the new 4-Series but still it does not make too much marketing sense to me to stop the E92 in June and then have a final short production with the expense involved in changing the model year.

Right, but I think they wanted to bump the F30 to a MY2013 real quick, so they made it a short MY2012. As a result, they decided to bump the coupe up at the same time as well (and most other BMW models for that matter, from my recollection of the internal PDFs that were posted a few months ago).

BTW, I notice that what I said in my earlier post was off - the final E90s will be produced in December 2011, not January 2012. I do believe, however, that I was correct in saying that all US spec E90s are produced already. The last few are for other markets.
